One of the major barrier to exporting meat & dairy products to developed countries like US and EU is the
lack of a traceability mechanism (Tagging, Registration of animals, proper transportation and creditable
database of animal to trace the animals) in the local meat value chain. To address this, a Livestock
Tagging Project is the need of the hour.
Scope Of The Project
Register the animals (issue Identification card and unique no.)
Registration of Livestock Farms
Registered & approved Transportation company to transport animals
Registration of slaughter Houses
To establish a credible international database like NADRA that every body can access and know
from which animal he is eating meat and milk (if there is any problem he can trace back)
Strict monitoring & supervision of the Government or authority established by the Government
How To Achieve This?
Being a complex nature of the project, the Government of Sindh aimed to hire services of a consultant to
conduct feasibility study and structure the Livestock Tagging Project in order to produce high quality
standard products for the domestic, Asian and eventually European / global markets.

Government of Sindh, invited proposals from reputable and experienced firms / consortia to prepare a
feasibility report covering technical, financial, economic, legal and environmental aspects along with
